Your Garden

Lightly scattered

ash, do you

recognize soil’s

beneficent species?

Beetles, worms,

touch-sensitive

star-nosed moles,

wintering queen bees,

their spring wakenings,

most such creatures

smaller than birds,

less colorful, if audible

hardly, & not

particularly musical

or perhaps they are.

Naturally I expect

you will notice,

inform & surprise us.
